Summary
Mechanics of fluids is a branch of mechanical engineering. Students learn about pressure, flow, and forces in fluids. They get practice with exam-style questions on these topics.
Fluid pressure and forces
Pressure in fluids is explained. Students calculate forces on surfaces and the position of the centre of pressure. Pressure and forces are also covered for fluids in motion.
Fluid flow and motion
Different types of fluid flow and motion are described. Students work on problems involving velocity, rotation, and flow in pipes. Flow in nozzles and boundary layers is also covered.
Flow measurement and losses
Methods to measure fluid flow are explained. Students calculate pressure losses in pipes and head losses in different flow situations. Flow through parallel pipes is also covered.
Special topics in fluid mechanics
Topics include flow in nozzles, boundary layers, and flow measurement devices. Students work on problems involving these topics. The Mach number and its importance are also discussed.
Key terms
- Total pressure
- The total force exerted by a fluid on a surface.
- Centre of pressure
- The point where the total pressure acts on a surface.
- Vortex flow
- A type of fluid flow with circular streamlines.
- Reynolds number
- A dimensionless quantity used to predict flow patterns.
- Mach number
- The ratio of an object's speed to the speed of sound.
- Boundary layer
- The layer of fluid near a surface where viscosity affects the flow.
